Hannon - Fresco Flowers

The fourth design in this collection is a fresco - hoping that it looks hand-painted, of reasonable quality, and on some nice linen fabric attached to the wall. Since I normally make things with height maps and render them with the Substance Designer materials plugin for Photoshop, drawing on shading and shadows is new for me —- well, new-ish. (ok. on a design here and there, I have been cheating and drawing on some shading and shadows and streak of light. Despite this software being for making 3D stuff, I think painting on shading, streaks of light, and shading is fair.)

I was originally going to have a maroon background - like in the actual house - but maroon wasn’t working for me. It resulted in brown/gray when I put the stained glass over it. And with the dragon being blue-black and the brown of the floor leaning blue-ish, maroon just wasn’t working. So I changed to a mid-range blue. And it works perfectly.

These were fun to make.
